Nice collection guys!

Really love the RCA console TV set, a simple cabinet design but certainly beautiful.

Pat: Thanks for sharing your collection. Very nice. I noticed in the 5th picture the little transitor radio just to the right of the clock. I have that radio as well in another area where I display all my transitors. Also in the 6th picture the two g.e. from 1955, I have them as well. One black one with the same base and a pink one with a more permanent base. Also in your curio cabinet in the first pic I noticed a bunch of model cars in there. That is a nice collection. I also have a curio cabinet filled with model cars. One whole shelf is just Tuckers with an original dealer brochure. Here is a picture with the little transitor radio that is similiar to yours. Its on the second shelf from the bottom on the right.

Here is the rest of the shelves of the transitor radios. The thunderbird is a radio and was given as a promo. Actually all the cars are radios. The things to the left and right of the thunderbird radio radio are actually remotes from the 60's. One Zenith, Admiral, Maganavox, and RCA.

And then this is my curio cabinet with all my model cars.

Massive Radio Collection

A good friend of mine who collected tube type radios recently passed away. At last count he had over 900, all on shelves and documented on a CD.

This collection is in western Manitoba in Canada. I'm not sure what will happen to it, I don't think he had any family.

Actually Justin

Those 2 radios in the sixth picture I posted are both RCA Victor Clock Radio's. I had one of the same model that you have with the fixed feet but I got rid of it when I down sized last year. I will take pictures of my car collection and post if I can before I go out of town again on Monday......PAT COFFEY

Pat: I guess I just had a brain fart when I said they were ge. LOL. Mine are the Rca as well.

 

[countryford]

Scooter: My husband would kill me if I brought that many home. LOL. I don't think that the issue would be that there were too many. I think it would be that he would know he would have to build all the shelving for them. LOL.

NICE-a clock display you can see and read while in bed without your glasses!Most displays are too dim and small.

 

[daveamkrayoguy]

It was the only R/S digital that had something other than a RED DISPLAY, too...

Sorry I couldn't get the radio dial in that well...
